Installing Multiple Instances

The RMS license can be activated 3 times:

a.Test environment.

b.Validation environment.

c.Production environment.

 

Here are three different ways to carry out the installation:

Option 1

Install the RMS software on 3 different servers with 3 different MS SQL Instances.

Option 2

Install the RMS software on 1 server, with 1 MS SQL Instance and 3 databases.

 

RMS needs to be installed 3 times, each time the IIS details, the ports and the path for the files need to be different.

 

In the InstallRmsV253.cmd file adjust the following details:

RMSAppPool details: set RMSAppPool for each environment (Example: RMSAppPooltest and RMSAppPoolVal and RMSAppPoolProd.).

IIS details: set wPageName and wServiceName in for each environment (Example: RMSTest and wServiceTest; RMSVal and wServiceVal; RMSProd and wServiceProd).

ServiceInstance: set different ports for each environment. (Example: RMS_8092 and RMS_8093 and RMS_8091.).

 

The ports must also be adjusted for each environment in the following files:

ServiceManager\RmsServiceManager.exe.config.

ServiceManager\InstallServiceManager.

ServiceManager\UninstallServiceManager.

ServiceMonitor\RmsServiceManager.exe.config.

wPage\Web.config.

wService\Web.config.

 

The paths must also be adjusted for each environment in the following files:

ServiceManager\NLog.config.

ServiceMonitor\NLog.config.

wPage\NLog.config.

wService\bin\NLog.config.

 

Important: the LAN devices need to be configured correctly to be able to communicate with the required software.

 

Important: Ensure that Connection.config needs to be adapted to point to the correct database.

 

Important: all software environments can be opened via the browser (/RMSTest, /RMSVal, RMSProd), however, the user cannot be logged into various systems at the same time.

 

When setting up the installations on 1 server, it is important to clearly organise the setup. Rotronic recommends the following setup:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\rms\

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\rmsTest\

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\rmsVal\

 

Under each path, the software should be saved. And the location of the files and each environment should have their own files.

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\rms\files

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\rmsTest\files

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\rmsVal\files

 

Under the RMS system settings, the documentation path should be added correctly!

 

Note:

 

When all environments are setup identically, then the users can log into all environments without having to login via the browser Cookies, where the login details are saved.

 

Remove the settings in the web.config and wPage to ensure that the Cookies cannot be used:
